Work experience
Self-employed
As a developmental editor I assist my clients in shaping their fully finished manuscripts, fine-tuning their writing to protect and preserve their unique story-telling voice. Ultimately, my thrill is to see each book I edit break into print.
Panther Creek Press
Before my own author career took off, consuming most of my time, I reviewed manuscript submissions for this small regional press and wrote the final rejection/acceptance letters. I also worked as a developmental editor on accepted manuscripts.
